Answer:

Part a) Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many ounces of grapes did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{3}{4}\ lb= \frac{3}{4}(16)=12\ oz

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) How many ounces of cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 5/8 lb of cherries

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{5}{8}\ lb= \frac{5}{8}(16)=10\ oz

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) How many more ounces of grapes than cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Subtract the ounces of cherries from the ounces of grapes

so

12\ oz-10\ oz=2\ oz

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) If Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries, who bought more fruit, Ms. Winn or Mr. Phillips? How many ounces more?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

1\frac{3}{4}\ lb=\frac{1*4+3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ lb

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{7}{4}\ lb= \frac{7}{4}(16)=28\ oz

Remember that

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes and 10 oz of cherries

In total Ms. Winn bought

12 oz+10 oz=22 oz -----> total ounces of fruit

so

Mr. Phillips bought 28 oz of fruit

Ms. Winn bought 22 oz of fruit

28\ oz > 22\ oz

Find the difference

(28\ oz-22\ oz)=6\ oz

therefore

Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Denise gets 450 minutes each month to use on her cell phone. Last month, she used 360 minutes. What percent of her minutes did s
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Denise used 360 minutes out of 450 minutes. You would set this up as a fraction. Then, you would have to find out the percentage of how much Denise used. You would put 360/450 across from x/100. You find the value of x by multiplying 360*100 which equals 36000. You then would divide it by 450 to get a product of 80. This is how you would get 80%.

Find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Write all the final equations
vivado [14]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to find the slope by lining up the points vertically and subtract, then put 2nd difference over first.

Also you could just use \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.  It is the same thing.

(  5  ,   5)

-(  1  ,   3)

--------------

  4      2

So the slope is 2/4 or 1/2 after reducing.

The point-slope form a line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) with a point on the line (x_1,y_1)=(1,3) given and with slope m=\frac{1}{2} given.

y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-1)

We are going to solve this for y and simplify what we can because our goal is y=mx+b; this is slope-intercept form.  It is called that because it tells us the slope,m, and the y-intercept,b.

Distribute:

y-3=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

Add 3 on both sides:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+3

Simplify:

y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}
